Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:002:010 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut
timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty
thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of
wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
14:002:011 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent
to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath
made thee king over them.
14:002:012 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that
made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise
son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build
an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
14:002:013 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding,
of Huram my father's,
14:002:014 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was
a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in
brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue,
and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of
graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to
him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord
David thy father.
14:002:015 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the
wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his
servants:
14:002:016 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt
need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa;
and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
14:002:017 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land
of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had
numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty
thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
14:002:018 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers
of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the
mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set
the people a work.
14:003:001 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem
in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his
father, in the place that David had prepared in the
threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
14:003:002 And he began to build in the second day of the second month,
in the fourth year of his reign.
14:003:003 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for
the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after
the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth
twenty cubits.
